Limestone Coast Brewing
Limestone Coast Brewing is the company behind the cool craft brewing technology in this venue. The inventors behind this concept are absolutely passionate about beer and realised that having a traditional craft brewpub venue requires a lot of space for plant and equipment, raw materials, and stock for packaging. This makes it very difficult to have a true craft brewery experience in most locations other than large rural or industrial settings.
The inventors realised that the freshest beer comes from the Brite Beer tanks (yes that’s correct —Brite not Bright) rather than from kegs or bottles. Brite Beer tanks are the vessels where the finished beer is stored after fermentation is complete. Every time the beer is handled from the Brite Beer tanks for packaging into kegs, bottles, or cans there is a risk of oxidation and contamination. Have you ever wondered why large scale breweries add chemicals and preservatives or why craft beer is kept in refrigerated stores? It all comes down to preserving the original taste of the product as long as possible after it leaves a Brite Beer tank. What this means is that having beer poured directly from a Brite Beer tank provides the freshest drinking experience possible.
Limestone Coast have developed a complete on-site fermentation, conditioning and serving technology that allows the traditional craft brewery to be separated into two parts and the equipment you are sitting amongst to be managed and operated remotely. This technology is 100% Western Australian owned and developed with patents pending in 47 countries.
The central facility is an eye opener for anyone interested in craft beer. Not only does the company utilise a high level of automation to manage quality control, but it also recycles waste heat, wastewater and is based on an electric platform to enable future transition to a fossil fuel free facility. Future projects include additional recycling initiatives such as making products from the wastegrain and carbon dioxide to name a few.
Laboratory level cleanliness is the start of being able to repeatedly make high quality beer. Our computer controlled equipment ensures a pristine environment for the beers you are drinking. Most of the time this cleaning process happens while everyone is home tucked up in bed — that’s the beauty of automation. However, if you happen to hear water rushing around the pipes, pumps or valves operating, don’t panic it just means the plant happens to be doing its thing while you are there. You are in a working brewery after all!
This precision allows our brewers to make small batch hand crafted beers and concentrate on the big picture of flavour, colour, aroma, and mouthfeel, continuously searching for beer perfection, leaving the automation to handle sanitation, conditioning and dispensing.
